Abstract

The overfill device comprises a body (6), a flap valve (7) mounted in the body, a float (8) connected by a lever (9) to the valve, a plunger tube (10) connected to the body (6) and provided with an aperture (11), characterized in that an elastically deformable closure member (13) is mounted in the plunger tube and is applicable against the inner surface parts of the tube located on each side of the aperture by the effect of its own resilience and thereby closes the aperture when the float is located outside the plunger tube. Applications in tanks storing liquid products such as hydrocarbons.
